Oh, Deer!

The turkeys have turned out to be frequent visitors to the backyard since their first appearance.  This morning I saw them fly from the backyard into the surrounding tree-tops.  If you've never seen turkeys fly you are missing out!  They are not the most graceful and/or coordinated birds around, that's for sure.  It's very reminiscent of myself during my high school gym class years. 

Although we're excited with every turkey sighting, we've been also trying to attract a different animal to the backyard.  I'm very excited to have finally seen and gotten a few highly un-professional photos of this new forest friend.  Hopefully they will return and give me a chance for some better photography! 


Deer me, at last!



I don't understand how anyone could want to hunt
and kill a creature like this.
